Title: Reasons for being non-op
Post by: wheat thins are delicious on August 17, 2011, 09:54:45 PM
For those who are non planning to have surgery, top surgery specifically, what are  you reasons for deciding not to pursue surgery?

I don't see it as something I want or need. If I wrote out a pro-con list the cons list would be longer than the pros.

This is just my own personal belief on it ....

I don't trust doctors and I don't believe in surgery on otherwise healthy tissue/body.

But do you have the desire to have a male chest?   Just curious.  Top surgery is my biggest want so I can't really understand those who don't want it.

My discomfort with my chest isn't too bad. I'm more uncomfortable with my hips.

Sure, but my feelings about surgery are stronger.
